Description
This is a philosophy of one kind or another behind the work of every artist. Simple one, sufficient for his needs as understood them, though perhaps really consequent upon his artistic methods, rather than at the root of them. It was the philosophy of cynicism: the most effectual means of limiting one's outlook, of concentrating all one's energies on the task in hand.
